Anoraak Song

I did a cover of an Anoraak song called "Nightdrive with You".  Technically this is a cover of the Grum remix version.  That's a picture of me directing a big band haha

Derailler

Here is a clip of my jazz duo group with Brice Albert called Derailler.  This video is from the gig we did at Neighborhood Grinds last week.  Here's our take on "These Foolish Things Remind Me of You" and "All The Things You Are"

Super 8

Just got this crazy Super 8 Video Camera.  I broke my Canon 310XL and have been on a quest to find a replacement for quite a while.  This is a Carena CXL -250.  It's pretty heavy duty!



Camera

Found this vintage Canon Autoboy at a Goodwill today.  Noisy!


Elephant Beanie

Made this one for a friend today.  I based the colors off of this super rad elephant wind-chime from Thailand.

Ms. Connection

I wrote this song about missed connections and the negative consequences of casual intimate relationships.  Many different kinds of musical influences were used in the creation of this piece.  On this song I used some interesting sounds such as electrified Jew's Harp and distorted speaker cable noise.

you swept me off my feet
as I was standing in your path
did I catch you looking my way
those eyes were painted black and white
something about the way you moved
so slowly I knew you were wild inside

hello ms. connection
come on back my way
silent stipulation
let's go all the way

I saw you on the street and waved
somehow we arrived at this place
your body shimmering and smooth
salty and dripping wet for me
I knew that you had thoughts like mine
tell me about what's in your mind

hello ms. connection
come on back my way
silent stipulation
let's go all the way

but will this go anywhere
pretend I don't really care about you
and will we ever be the same



Carbonell Live - By The Seaside

I played at a house party on Cinco de Mayo.  Here is a video of a new song I wrote called "By the Seaside".
